Regula, caput VII
The Sacred Enclosure
Christ commands that no outsider may enter the nuns' enclosure or speak with them except at appointed times, preserving the cloister's sacred separation.
Christ forbids that anyone, lay or religious, enter the nuns' enclosure or speak with them except at certain times. . With every occasion of whatever necessity or supplication set aside, no secular man or woman, no religious or other cleric is to enter the enclosure of a monastery of nuns. Conversation with them at all other times is also forbidden, unless at fixed times.
Read the original Latin
Christus prohibet hic, quod nulla persona secularis seu religiosa claustrum monialium ingrediatur neque eis loquatur nisi certis temporibus. .
"Remota omni occasione cuiuscumque necessitatis siue supplicacionis nullus secularium virorum seu mulierum, nullus religiosorum seu aliorum clericorum claustra monasterii monialium ingrediatur. Colloquium quoque omnium nisi certis temporibus eis interdicitur."
